DVD - Natalie Wood Collection

The "Natalie Wood Signature Collection" includes "Splendor In The Grass", "Gypsy", "Sex And The Single Girl", "Inside Daisy Clover", "Bombers B-52" and "Cash McCall".

"Splendor In The Grass": Directed by Elia Kazan ("Streetcar Named Desire"), and written by William Inge ("Come Back Little Sheba") "Splendor In The Grass" stars Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty (in his feature film debut) as teenage lovers full of angst and lust, ripped apart by the repressive small-town mentality of 1920s Kansas, with dire consequences.

The film won an Academy Award(R) for Best Original Screenplay, and Ms. Wood received her second Best Actress nomination.

"Gypsy": Everything's coming up roses when Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood and Karl Malden entertain you in the lavish movie musical of the Broadway hit about the infamous stripper Gypsy Rose Lee and her formidable mother Rose (Rosalind Russell). Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, "Gypsy" was nominated for three Oscars(R).

The musical score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim is among the most celebrated ever, with such hummable hits as "Let Me Entertain You," "Everything's Coming up Roses" and "Together Wherever We Go".

"Sex And The Single Girl": Helen Gurley Brown's famous book title provides the jumping off point for this romantic comedy about tabloid magazine editor Tony Curtis, who's after dirt when he pretends to woo a young famous sex researcher played by Wood. Needless to say, he gets more than he came looking for.

Supporting roles are played by the Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall.

"Inside Daisy Clover": Daisy Clover (Wood) is a 15-year old tomboy who dreams of being a Hollywood star, and in the vein of "be careful what you wish for," she finds herself becoming the toast of Tinseltown in the 1930s.

Daisy is thrust headlong into this strange new life with all the pressure and artifice that goes with the territory and must quickly manage or be driven mad. Christopher Plummer is the studio head who gives Daisy her big chance and Robert Redford plays the man with whom she has a one-day marriage. Film buffs will enjoy seeing the various areas and departments of Warner Bros. Studios, where the film was shot.

"Bombers B-52": U.S. Air Force pilot Jim Herlihy (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) is in love with Lois Brennan (Wood), much to the disapproval of her sergeant father (Karl Malden). There is romance and action in this flight film set against the backdrop of riveting aerial footage of jet plane maneuvers.

"Cash McCall": In this drama of high finance and high romance, James Garner ("The Rockford Files") plays the title role of a dashing and daring tycoon in the business of buying and selling companies for profit.

However, McCall's acquisition plans for Grant Austen's (Dean Jagger) company gets more complicated when he realizes Austen's daughter Lory (Wood) is the same girl with whom he once had a summer fling.
